Ivy League Roundup

In the opinion of Joe Res tic of Harvard, the best‐bal anced team in the Ivy League right now is Princeton.

Perhaps the Harvard coach is Just trying to softsoap the Tigers since the teams meet in Harvard Stadium Satur day. Restic, discussing the contest, said, “Princeton will be our strong est game of the season. Right now I think they are the best team in the league.” Res tic noted that Harvard's ear lier league opponents either had a strong offense or a strong defense, but not both.

“We were able to move the ball effectively against Cornell, but their great of fense beat us. Against Dart mouth, we controlled their offense pretty well, but had trouble moving the ball against the Indian defense.

“Princeton will give us problems on both sides of the ball. I expect trouble moving against their defense, and I expect trouble stopping their offense.”

The Tigers lost to Colum bia and Cornell at the start of the campaign, and virtual ly eliminated themselves from title contention. Now the Tigers have won three straight and have a chance to salvage some glory against the three top rivals remain ing.

Jake McCandless, who has lost seven players because of knee injuries, sounds like a man literally licking his chops. He said, “We're ex cited as hell about playing Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth in the next three weeks. We lost to all of them last year and have a few scores to settle.”

Princeton walloped Brown, 49‐21, and McCandless cred ited the defense for a major contribution. “Our defense got the ball with good field position, and the offense took advantage of the oppor tunities. That took the pres sure off our offense. For the first time this year, we weren't looking at 60 or 70 yards of green every time we got the ball.”

Frank Navarro of Colum bia and Len Jardine of Brown face formidable tasks in preparing for games with the league's undefeated co leaders, Dartmouth and Cor nell, respectively.

Columbia lost another 3‐ point game—to Cornell—and just about blew its chance for title consideration. The Lions are mentally down, and Navarro's toughest prob lem will be to restore their confidence as well as their efficiency against the In dians.

Jardine faces a similar task. The Bruins have lost six games, the first five by an average of less than seven points. The drubbing by Princeton hurt because the Bruins were an easy victim for the first time.

Jake Crouthamel of Dart mouth and Jack Musick of Cornell have to guard against overconfidence. Both squads could be looking beyond the Lions and the Bruins to the following week in Hanover when they meet.

Dartmouth has won 15 straight, but Crouthamel said of the Lions, “Columbia is the toughest team we're go ing to face so far this year. Don Jackson is the best quarterback we'll see, and he has an outstanding set of re ceivers.

Columbia has the person nel and the tactical weapons. Crouthamel said, “Columbia's 3‐3 record is not an accurate measure of the talent on the team. We can't afford any kind of mental letdown. If we're not ready, they'll blow us right off the field.”

Defense is Dartmouth's strength. Defense has forced numerous fumbles and given the offense field position.

Penn's split end, Don Clune of Havertown, Pa., earned sophomore of the week hon ors in the Eastern College Athletic Conference for his outstanding efforts in the 1‐ point loss to Harvard.

Clune, battling Columbia's Jesse Parks for the pass re ceiving title, set a league record of 284 yards against the Crimson and surpassed the Penn season mark of 552. Clune has gained 611 yards and has three games remain ing.
